...Hillary Clinton has not always been viewed as a positively influential woman. She is a great example of dedication for her job and the rest of the people. Hillary Clinton is a positive image for others because she has fought for injustices like Women’s and Children’s Rights, motivated many people to do the same and showed how to achieve things by hard work. Her contributions to society made her receive many awards regarding Women’s and Children’s Rights. However, she was controversial after being part of many scandals which led to the worsening of her reputation. Hillary was raised in a middle-class home in Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago being Hugh Rodham and Dorothy Howell’s first daughter. Her father was a World War ll Navy veteran and business owner while also took care of their poor and extended family (Clinton, 2014). Everyday after school, she would always help with the family business, a small but successful textile business that gave them enough money to take care of the whole family. Hillary’s mother, Dorothy, was a homemaker of Dutch, English, French Canadian, Scottish and Welsh Descendant who was abandoned as a child and had a pretty tough childhood,...

...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war, California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate. At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...

...Vince Foster Did Not Commit Suicide Brian L. Marone Excelsior College maronebrian@gmail.com English 101 Instructor: BK Harvey 20 February 2013 Abstract Contrary to reports issued by the government under the administration of Bill Clinton, all forensic evidence points to the probability that Vince Foster did not kill himself. Regardless of the supporting evidence regarding his "suicide note," motive, and knowledge of the Clintons' involvement in the Whitewater investigation, the crime scene investigation and further forensic evidence scrutinized by the FBI do not in the least support the suicide theory. The primary forensic evidence negating the suicide theory centers around the blood, or lack thereof, at the crime scene, and the evidence regarding the gun – fingerprints, blood, and ballistics. Unfortunately for whoever murdered Vince Foster, they did not accurately portray the suicide scene. If Vince Foster allegedly did shoot himself in the mouth, pointing towards the top of his head, the bullet would have passed through the nasal cavity. Since the heart continues to beat provided that there is oxygenated blood in the body, and considering that this was a direct head wound, the heart should have continued to pump for at the MINIMUM a few moments, producing an outpour of blood from the nasal/ sinus cavity. This effect is similar to a bloody nose, however, at least one thousand times more powerful since the nasal/ sinus cavity is completely obliterated by the lead...

...a lot of new stuff. I had to research everything since some of this stuff I never heard of or if I heard about them it was in another language. First I am going to start off my paper with telling the back ground behind Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a U.S. constitutional law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations. In the case, the conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA"). Section 203 of BCRA defined an "electioneering communication" as a broadcast, cable, or satellite communication that mentioned a candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary, and prohibited such expenditures by corporations and unions. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that §203 of BCRA applied and prohibited Citizens United from advertising the film Hillary: The Movie in broadcasts or...

...responsibility in health care should be to those who are unable to purchase basic coverage. Surveys conducted by institutions like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation have noted that the proportion of people named the uninsured as the single most important domestic issue. Additionally, the Woods and Kaiser Foundation study concludes 55% of the participants expressed willingness to pay some level of taxes to cover the uninsured (1-4). The majority thought that the uninsured should be offered a federal funded health care package. Universal health can enhance health and well-being by promoting access to high-quality care that is cost effective, efficient, safe, timely, patient-centered, and equitable. This paper opposes America’s current private market system of health care coverage and agrees that a universal health care plan is necessary for all Americans. The history of health insurance in the United States reveals that the first major attempt for basic health insurance occurred in 1917, when a proposal to provide coverage for workers...

...For decades, pharmaceutical companies have been able to develop the necessary drugs humans need to take care of health problems. Whether it’s heart problems, diabetes, painkillers, sleep disorder, there’s an innumerable amount of drugs to treat practically any kind of medical condition. These drugs have saved a number of lives over the years. However, although these drugs that are developed are for the health of humans, they come at a price. A very hefty price. This is a problem that is more prominent in the US than anywhere else, and solving this problem is rather difficult. Americans pay, by far, more than any other country for prescription drugs. It’s come to a point where Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anything else for...

Women have always been the scape goat in term of blame or in adequate of men. This shape power that if women were to have a good or great idea it would be dismissive In the following are some topics that regard gender and some refers from "killing us softly 4"from Jean Kilbourne. She talks about adverting ads that sexually women and make or trying to turn them in to object rather than a human being. I saw an old navy commercial about woman in pants by presence them in different size and made look appeal to the male audience. One can say that we live in a male dominate socially. I'm not trying to sound sexist but it is true. From history has told from the begin regard of era that woman were in to be homemaker and servants. In the world women working side by side with can make a difference but inequity such as wages, treatment, and having a say. Today people are define by sociality by gender and how they are act towards one another. First ads affect people perceptive on how to live and want to do. A quote from Kilbourne “saying that don't look like there prefect but are made from four different woman's parts”. In most to all advertisement woman look at these ads and fell insecure and try to imitate that way they look. To them an out ward appearance is a primary feature that is important to maintain “prefect” image they are going for. One of the...

...Bill Clinton Research Paper President William “Bill” Clinton, the 41st president of the United States of America, proved to be a great president, facing some obstacles in his childhood, early political career, great success in his domestic policies but mediocre in his foreign. President Bill Clinton left behind a positive legacy which reinforced his great status. He was a great president which shows in his actions and all his other reforms and attempts to try and become the best there was. Nathaniel Neef, Family Life. President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident. Needing to find a way to support herself and her new child, Bill Clinton's mother, Virginia Cassidy Blythe, moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to study nursing.

...The medical liability system needs reform to promote better patient safety and lower health care costs. In this paper I plan to show different types of reform that are needed in the medical liability system and how those changes will impact patient safety and cost. Also discussed will be the governments backing (or not) of medical liability reform. The current medical liability system was designed to provide monetary compensation to patients who suffer injury due to medical negligence. The system also works to reduce the chances of future patients being harmed by preventable medical errors. However, most individuals in the healthcare industry do not believe it accomplishes any of these goals. The biggest issues, as reported by critics of the system, are the cost and access of liability coverage, impact on patients’ safety, and the administrative costs of lawsuits. To address the shortcomings of the system, some reform has been introduced to modify the current tort system. Included in these reforms are Full disclosure/early offer programs, Certificates of merit programs, Caps on damage awards, periodic interim payment rules, joint and several liability reform, collateral source rule reform, screening panels and health courts. All of these programs are designed to lower the costs of Medical Liability insurance for the health care provider as well as addressing the safety of patients in various ways. They also give both the patient and the health care provider peace of mind because...

...For example, without the First Amendment’s guarantee of the right to free speech, to assemble, and to petition government, the political branches would be less responsive to citizens’ concerns, and voters would be less informed of the significance of their choices. However, there are politicians who wish to challenge the First Amendment. With the possible exceptions of John Adams and Woodrow Wilson, there might never be a president more hostile to freedom of speech than Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton has promised, if elected, to introduce a constitutional amendment within her first month in office that would effectively repeal the First Amendment by overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v FEC decision from 2010.6 Americans can protect their civil liberties in regard to free speech by taking an absolutist zero-tolerance position in regard to censorship and speech policing.7 The United States has succeeded in preserving security and civil liberties by adopting policies that reinforce both; however, when it has departed from that course, both liberty and security have suffered. For example, while imprisoning those who actively conspire with the enemy in a time of war is sound policy, the internment of Japanese citizens...

...threatening to default on our debt by not raising the debt ceiling unless President Barack Obama scraps the biggest piece of legislation he has gotten passed into law since his election in 2008, a bill, commonly referred to as Obamacare. The president, on the other hand, is saying he won’t pay a ransom for the federal government to open back up siting his reelection as vindication that Americans want this legislation to move forward. Social media is being used by both sides of the argument to spread doubt and fear or oversell the law so it is difficult to know exactly what is true and what isn’t. This paper is an attempt to summarize the major events in the healthcare debate that have brought us to this unprecedented point of government gridlock. The modern healthcare debate started in the early nineties with the presidential election of Bill Clinton. Then First Lady Hillary Clinton and the late Senator Ted Kennedy championed the movement. The belief held by the most liberal of democrats was that being an American citizen gave you a birth right to healthcare. Republicans conversely saw any government interference as a radical takeover of an industry and were quick in developing rhetoric to squash the movement. The American public became much more interested in the Healthcare debate at the turn of the century as the costs began to rise at an explosive rate. The rise in cost can be attributed to many factors, including but not limited to, better technology, more expensive drugs...

...Emmitt Y Riley, III Proposed Field of Study Political Science (U.S. Political Institutions and Processes/ Public Policy) Having extensively researched the Political Science curriculum, the faculty members and their areas of academic research, along with the structure of the program, it is my belief that the Political Science PhD Program at the University of Oklahoma would best fit my research interests and long term career aspirations. I am especially interested in the programs' emphasis on American Politics and Public Policy. The emphases on American Politics, political behavior and political methodology are very intriguing. The opportunity to study in your department members would provide me with the opportunity to gain further insight in a subfield of the discipline in which I am very passionate. In addition, the opportunity to study with these individuals would certainly set me on tract to a successful career in publishing in this particular subfield. Thus my purpose and objective obtaining a PhD is to enter a rigorous academic program that will prepare me for a successful career in teaching and conducting independent research that will contribute to the discipline. Growing up in Mississippi Delta has certainly influenced my reasons for furthering my graduate education in political science. As an improvised African American male, originally labeled incapable of learning, my educational experiences have had a profound influence 'on my ability to achieve...

...Health Care Reform from an Economist Perspective Managerial Economics 2/28/2013 Introduction Today there are many Americans without health insurance. This is due to the lack of financial resources they have to pay for the insurance , perhaps due to the unemployment rate and also due to those (younger generation) who choose to opt out of paying for health insurance. Many Americans live day to day hoping they will not get sick. From the results of these rates, President Obama signed the US Health Care Reform into law. The health care reform law encases benefits such as affordability, accessibility, comfort and ease for low income families worrying about going broke if they get sick, health care cost will be capped, and insurance companies will not be able to deny applicants due to pre-existing conditions. Accessibility simply means that insurers would have to expand insurance coverage to all Americans. This means eliminating pre-existing conditions that prevented people from gaining insurance coverage, insuring portability across states, mandating the purchase of insurance coverage, standardizing claims to reduce paperwork and providing benefits and cost information to American people allowing them an opportunity to choose a plan that best fit their needs (Shortell, 2009) Affordability has left uninsured and low income families helpless due to high premiums. The public option is an idea that hopes to establish competition that will drive down insurance premium...
